The Father and the Assassin by Anupama Chandrasekhar
A gripping play about the man who murdered Mahatma Gandhi, premiered at the National Theatre, London.'Exhilarating.. big, bold political history that commands the National Theatre's largest stage... Chandrasekhar artfully unpicks the forces of history with a tale of violence and colonialism that echoes into today'

* WhatsOnStage *'Blackly hilarious... a brilliantly entertaining historical drama... a tremendous piece of writing, and very, very funny'
* Time Out *'Epic but accessible... sharply incisive... viscerally affecting'
* The Stage *'Colourful, ambitious, fast-paced storytelling'
* Arts Desk *'A lavish political thriller and a riveting psychodrama... punchy and electrifying... a majestic theatrical tapestry'
* Broadway World *'Fascinating and topical'
* Telegraph *'Bold and invigorating theatre... a timely look at the way an idealistic young man can change aspirations and turn to murder'
* British Theatre Guide *'Extraordinary... historical theatre at its best, magnificent, and gripping, subtly condensing history into a two-hour tale that educates and entertains'
